You have tons of beats, sketches, and 2 track recordings from your Octatrack. The file are piling up, and you don't want to dig back into old project files, but at the same time, don't want to "release" much of the work you have because it doesn't seem fully done.

Let it go! Build your catalog, get as much work out there as possible, and feel good about it.

I do one-off, or super affordable $45/monthly mastering plans for serious Octatrack creators who need a place to continuously drop tracks for me to optimize for Spotify/streaming platforms, and audiophile systems.

You don't think your mixes are "pro" enough or your ideas not formed enough? Master the files. At the very least, build your music catalog for sync licensing opportunities, or just for posterity!

Never master your own music. The objective sound treatment I will deliver on your tracks will give you the confidence to know your songs are optimized for relative loudness, while maintaining headroom and proper balance at all volumes. You will hear details in a more organized, spatially focused sound.

I have spent a lot of time understanding the challenges artists have getting tracks finalized, and the sound they want out of the Octatrack. I also have some handy tips for how to avoid the most common mistakes in creating 2 mixes on the Octatrack. Let's talk about it - hit me up and I will tell you everything I have learned so far that could really help you.

The OT is an incredible music making tool, and while the limitations help creativity, it also poses a problem when needing to finish tracks. Ask me for info on how I help Octatrack producers get tracks done - get rid of the clutter - create room for the new.
